Lyrics:
Trouble in little town
People all gathered around
Abandoned bag on a step
This is what happened next
I was only trying to hear what the teacher said
Then I heard a gunshot ringing in my head
Can see us on the evening news, there's 23 dead
In two-by-twos with our shirts stained red
We walk these streets of heaven
We walk these streets of heaven now
It's hard to get through the days
Knowing they're miles away
Knowing what could've been
I look on down and I see
My brother on the stand, trying to make a case
My mother in the hallway with tears upon her face
The lawyers say these cruel machines, they keep us safe
But you and me, we know the price to pay
As we walk these streets of heaven
Walk these streets of heaven
Another shot, wasted life
Another friend to walk beside
I know it hurts, but wipe your eyes
And we'll sing until the old men cry
It's just the way it is, I don't know why
It's just the way it is, I don't know why
It's just the way it is, I don't know why
We're just a bunch of kids who didn't have to die
As we walk these streets of heaven
As we walk these streets of heaven
As we walk these streets of heaven
We walk these streets of heaven now

This song stabbed me right through the heart. Truly insane how for many people in the US guns are valued so much more than children's lives...

The sad fact that millions will relate "and I don't know why" it's so unfair.
Beautiful song for beautiful souls lost.

This is what happened next
I was only trying to hear what the teacher said
Then I heard a gunshot ringing in my head
I could see it on the evening news, there's 23 dead
In two-by-twos with our shirts stained red
If we walk these streets of heaven
We walk these streets of heaven now
It's hard to get through the days
Knowing they're miles away
Knowing what could've been
I look on down and I see
My brother on the stand, trying to make a case
My mother in the hallway with tears upon her face
The lawyers say these cruel machines, they keep us safe
But you and me, we know the price to pay
As we walk these streets of heaven
Walk these streets of heaven
Is to we walk these streets of heaven
Another shot, wasted life
Another friend to walk beside
I know it hurts, but wipe your eyes
And we'll sing until the old men cry
It's just the way it is, I don't know why
It's just the way it is, I don't know why
It's just the way it is, I don't know why
We're just a bunch of kids who didn't have to die
As we walk these streets of heaven
We walk these streets of heaven
We walk these streets of heaven
We walk these streets of heaven now

I live in Europe and it's unbelievable for us that kids are getting killed all the time and it seems like nothing changes... America, why? Is having a gun in your possession really matters more than life?

Holy fuck, I'm sobbing to this. The picture tom paints with his lyrics hits straight to the heart.

This is one of the most underrated songs I know. The lyrics, the melody, the concept, the singing style. It's just perfect. It sounds so calm but sad and deep

So heart-wrenching and beautiful animation along with this poignant song. I was moved to tears. β€π₯ β€
